I want to join my voice & power to all other women who are seeking their rights & freedom & respect that is justly deserved. We women, are a force of life – our bodies create life – our hands, hearts & soul nurture life. I refuse to be politically  compromised or enslaved by machismo whether subtle or overbearing. It is time to “own” our feminine power for ourselves, our future & our world. Enough of the degradation of our bodies, our wisdom, our ideas & ourselves by the greedy, the power-hungry & the brutal violent bullies that would prey upon us. It is long past time that feminine grace & intuition & wisdom permeate the world again – healing & soothing & balancing ourselves & those around us. It is time to take back who we are. I stand in solidarity with my sisters & the men who truly know us & support us. Wish I could be in DC with you arm-in-arm but I am with you in spirit & intention only,because I am receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer.

I am an artist, jewelry designer & lapidary. I carve gemstones into beautiful freeform sculptures for jewelry & as objects of art. I particularly love working with opals.
